The Apartheid Museum, Soweto's pulse, and a Kruger safari — the South African city that changes perspectives.
Johannesburg — Jozi or eGoli, the 'City of Gold' — is Africa's economic powerhouse and South Africa's heartbeat. The Apartheid Museum ranks among the world's most powerful history museums, a Soweto tour is one of modern history's most moving experiences, and the Maboneng district is Africa's hottest art and culture scene. Kruger National Park is a day trip away for the full safari experience.
